Different types of invoice finance solutions

There are two main types of invoice finance: factoring and invoice discounting.

Factoring

Factoring can provide you with a cash injection into the business of up to 90% of the invoice value, providing full credit control and sales ledger management, by sending relevant, timely letters and statements to customers to help speed up payments.

Invoice Discounting

With invoice discounting, the main difference is that you retain control of the sales ledger and credit control activity, but you’re still able to take advantage of cash advances of up to 90% of the invoice value. Typically a confidential service, invoices financed in this way can be for domestic or export sales.

Trade Finance

Another option is that of trade finance which can provide you with upfront funding against confirmed orders, open up letters of credit facilities on behalf of the business, and provide direct supplier payments or even a cash advance.

It is suitable for businesses who have confirmed purchase orders or supply contracts from reliable sources.

Why choose invoice finance services?

Since the credit crunch of 2008, invoice finance has become a crucial form of business funding. This is because traditional forms of lending have become more difficult to secure, with smaller businesses in particular needing to look at the full range of finance options available.

Some 80% of all asset-based finance last year comprised invoice finance, which accounted for £17.9 billion of overall funding provided to businesses.
